While I agree that this is a tender topic at the moment, I have a hard time stretching it out as far as to being offensive, since it's a cryptography challenge posted by a mathematician. I do agree that there have been gross abuses of power committed over the past years, but this isn't necessarily something that should be the center of a debate on it. Especially since they aren't forcing you to apply to a job by participating in this challenge.
